Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection affecting the gums and bones supporting the teeth. A buildup of plaque and tartar can lead to inflammation and then become an infection of the gums. If left untreated, it can lead to long-term issues such as tooth loss, bone loss, and even systemic health problems like heart disease and stroke. At Santaquin Dentistry, we understand the risks associated with gum disease and offer a range of preventive treatments to help our patients maintain healthy gums and teeth. We use state-of-the-art technology and techniques to diagnose and treat gum disease in its early stages, preventing it from progressing and causing irreversible damage. For patients with advanced gum disease, we offer additional treatments to help restore the health of the gums and prevent further damage.
